Jhair 14 - WIP1
Added 2024-02-08 09:43:09 +0000 UTC- alright, the butterfly cut. As you might've guessed by the complete silence lately, I've been working on it for quite a while at this point. These images are quite old at this point, probably close to 2 weeks old, but I never uploaded them. I got distracted constantly with progressing the hair.
- anyway, like the last few times, I made a rough sketch/guide of how the hair should look and then started on the textures. The texture itself, I actually changed a bit since making that preview image. As I was modelling the hair, I realised I needed a thin semi-thick card so I went back and added that. I may change the thicker card on the right as well, to something with a more tapered tip, to make the hair look a bit more like how I'd want, as it currently looks a bit too thick at the tips when compared to some of the reference I'm using.
- one of these days, I'm going to stop making new textures entirely and just reuse older ones, especially when it comes to straight medium/long hair. I've got enough of a library to choose from at this point and it feels like making new textures is a waste of time. Still, it's not so bad as it used to be in this regard. If I recall, it only took about 2 days to make those textures, whereas it used to take double or triple that when I first started. Not only that, but the experience gained is still valuable as I have continuously refined the way I do things over time, so it's not a complete waste.
- the hair model itself is in a decently advanced stage at this point. I'll finish making the second layer today and very likely do another post showcasing it tomorrow.
